Airlines cancel Flight Operations over Fuel Scarcity



The intense fuel scarcity has cripple commercial activities at the airport as there is total scarcity of aviation fuel to run the aircraft of the various domestic carriers.

According to information gathered, thousands of air travellers were left stranded across airports in Nigeria on Saturday.

ezeanyanwu.blogspot.com gathered that the two largest domestic carriers in Nigeria, Arik Air and Aero Contractors, cancelled almost all their flights in Nigeria as a result of the scarcity of JetA1, otherwise known as aviation fuel.

At the Abuja and Lagos airport, many passengers, who arrived with the intention of travelling out of the two cities, had their flights cancelled.

A lot are them got frustrated by the development,and left the airport in anger. 

It was also gathered that the situation might get worse this week as the industrial action embarked  by Tankers Drivers across the country is still in progress. 

We plead to the relavant authorities to act as soon as possible to avoid further crisis in the petroluem sector.
